Mill is a dynamically typed programming language with a focus on clarity, concurrency and specification.
The hello world program reads as follows:
MAIN {
outln("Hello, world!");
}
Mill takes ideas from many languages, in no particular order:
- Clojure: dynamic variables, protocols.
- D: contracts, exceptions.
- Eiffel: contracts, CQS.
- Elixir: pipelines.
- F#: type system.
- Go: concurrency, control structures, I/O.
- Haskell: monad syntax.
- Perl: control structures, special variables.
- Scala: pattern matching.
- Spec#: contracts.
The implementation consists of a compiler called millc and a VM called mill. The compiler is written in Perl and the VM is written in C++.
